Environmental Health Department CP22 - AST Non-Qualified Inspection Report Date: October 21, 2024 Facility Address: 1002 FRONTAGE RD, RIPON Facility Name: GAS & SHOP SUMMARY OF VIOLATIONS (CLASS I, CLASS II, or MINOR - Notice to Comply) RemarksItem # OBSERVATION: Facility failed to design/update each container installation in accordance with good engineering practice to avoid discharges and failed to provide for each container installation the following: -High liquid level alarm with audible/visual signal -High liquid level pump cutoff device set to stop flow at predetermined content level -Direct audible/code signal communication between container gauger and pumping station -Fast response system, such as digital computer, telepulse/direct vision gauge. If direct vision gauge is used for determining liquid level, a person must be present to monitor gauges and overall filling of the tanks. -Staff stated that the liquid volume gauges are nonfunctional for tanks 1-4 and tank volume is calculated based on fuel delivery and sales. -Display for liquid gauge was obstructed by oily debris and could not be read for tanks 1-4. REGULATION GUIDANCE: (c)(8) Engineer or update each container installation in accordance with good engineering practice to avoid discharges. Must provide at least one of the following: (i) High liquid level alarms with audible/visual signal at a constantly attended operation/surveillance station. In smaller facilities, an audible air vent may suffice . (ii) High liquid level pump cutoff devices set to stop flow at predetermined container content level . (iii) Direct audible/code signal communication between container gauger and pumping station. (iv) A fast response system for determining liquid level of each bulk storage container such as digital computers , telepulse, or direct vision gauges. If alternative is used, a person must be present to monitor gauges and overall filling. CORRECTIVE ACTION: Immediately install an approved liquid level sensing device on tanks 1-4 in accordance with CFR 112.8 and implement necessary procedures to ensure that devices are fully functional and in use at all times during tank’s filling operations , provide proof of correction to the EHD. This is a repeat violation (Class 2) Violation. Code of Fed Regulations 112.8(c)(8)(v) 4030022 - Liquid level sensing devices regularly tested to ensure proper operation. OBSERVATION: Liquid level sensing devices for tanks 1-4 have not been tested and staff stated are not functional . Staff on site stated that they are no longer used and volume is instead estimated from fuel delivery and sales . REGULATION GUIDANCE: (c)(8)(v) You must regularly test liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper operation . CORRECTIVE ACTION: Liquid level sensing devices must be installed in accordance with CFR 112.8 and shall be regularly tested to ensure proper operation. Immediately conduct all necessary testing of tanks 1-4 liquid level sensing devices to ensure proper operation, submit test results to the EHD. This is (Class 2) Violation. 61 Code of Fed Regulations 112.8(c)(10) 4030021 - Visible discharges promptly corrected and any accumulation of oil in diked areas promptly removed.. OBSERVATION: The facility failed to promptly correct visible discharges of oil from pump adjacent to tank 4 and promptly remove any accumulations of oil in diked areas. -An active leak was observed from the pump. Significant staining was observed around the pump area with significant buildup of oily debris from the leak was observed on surrounding pump components and on the floor of the secondary 63 FA0000650 PR0516198 SC001 10/21/2024 EHD Rev. 12/06/2021 CP22 - AST Non-Qualified OIRPage 13 of 16 1868 E.
